I've just installed Epic Game Launcher on the Deck and had an issue where the starting screen was black. I've already find the fix in * this discussion.

Here's the copy of the post

I found something that seems to work. In the 3rd party launcher in Steam used for the Epic game launcher, go to Properties->Shortcut->Target, and change the text to:

"{The path to the epic game launcher}/EpicGamesLauncher.exe" -opengl

Well, EG launcher kinda sucks on any device in my experience. Honestly, the only reason i've installed it is to have the free games on the Deck. I've used this guide and the fix in the post.
